Emphasising that they have to move, Public Works Minister Juan Edghill on Tuesday afternoon told Albouystown residents who have illegal structures on the government reserve in the area that assistance would be considered to help them relocate.

“I am not offering anybody no money, nothing as an inducement to move, fair enough. The human factor is that people were living there because they did not have any land, nowhere to go, now, you apply for your place to move, and there are factors in moving and when that time comes, you have to move. I am not offering anybody inducement to move, but if there is assistance that is required, whether it is the truck or workmen to move the material and be re-erected wherever, we will try to see what can be accommodated,” Edghill said, according to a statement issued by the ministry.
